In "Wacky Races Chapter One: Qualifying," the final qualifying round heats up with all the classic chaos and inventive vehicles fans know, now with a slightly more grounded edge. Peter Perfect announces his acquisition of the Global Racing Federation, merging it into "Wacky Races Global" and postponing the race for a year—hinting at a deeper plan, especially as his attention turns to Penelope Pitstop’s recovery. Written by Ivan Cohen and illustrated by Mariano Benitez Chapo, with colors by Nick Caponi and letters by Jeff Eckleberry, the issue blends nostalgic mayhem with subtle shifts in the race’s future. The cover, by Joseph Michael Linsner, captures the moment’s electric tension.

Penelope Pitstop trades her spotlight for a racecar, determined to prove herself on the chaotic Wacky Races circuit—only to be sabotaged by Dick Dastardly in her very first lap. With her car in pieces and her confidence shaken, she rallies her mechanic friend Hoyt and launches a series of inventive (and wildly unorthodox) schemes to raise funds and rebuild.
